the gods descend

Chapter 11
Chu Nan chose an earthen house in the corner. Village Chief Robertson carried two large wooden barrels to the door, and a rusty key emerged from his waist.

With a click, the door opened without touching the key.

This magic-like performance made An Ruoxuan couldn't help but marvel, and Chu Nan's heart sank.

If you want to use it alone without affecting the elements, and cast it so delicately, not only the quality of the magic energy is very high, but also a test for the caster's own strength.

Chu Nan asked tentatively: "Mr. Robertson, you are not a sixth-level expert, are you?"

During the closed beta, among the [-] players, the top-ranked group stopped at the beginning of the fifth level. Chu Nan can guarantee that they will not be able to easily manipulate such delicate magic power.

"Haha."

Village Chief Robertson just smiled and did not answer the question directly. After putting two large wooden barrels filled with water into the house, Village Chief Robertson said:
"Okay, let's take a rest first. It's best to wash your body. Although it's a waste of water, if you need to buy skill books or equipment from me, remember to prepare gold coins. I'll go first."

After leading Chu Nan and An Ruoxuan into the door, Village Chief Robertson had no intention of staying any longer, threw the door key to Chu Nan and walked away.

Chu Nan looked carefully at the room.

The room is very small, only about thirty square meters.

The facilities inside are also very simple, a double plank bed with bedding and pillows, a small table and two chairs, and a compartment, similar to a bathroom.

The surrounding walls are not painted at all, like the rural mud houses of the last century that can only be seen in the pictures.

"Hey, it seems that we will live in this place temporarily in the future."

Muttering, Chu Nan walked to the wooden barrel filled with water, opened the lid, and said, "The price of water in the village is very high, don't waste it, taking a bath is too extravagant, but..."

Chu Nan stared at An Ruoxuan, who looked like a little beggar, and said with a smile: "You are allowed to use half a bucket of water this time. Although you can't take a bath or shower like on Earth, it's still okay to wash your body clean. of."

An Ruoxuan lowered her head unconsciously.

Women are born to love beauty. After living in the wilderness for three days, An Ruoxuan knew that her current image was simply unsightly. There was a lot of dust and dirt on her body, and she felt uncomfortable all over. She wanted to take a comfortable bath for a long time.

Chu Nan said and walked to the door: "You wash, I'll go out."

An Ruoxuan was in a hurry: "Wait, Chu Nan, don't you want to wash?"

Chu Nan: "Why, do you want to wash with me?"

An Ruoxuan was startled: "No, it's not..."

Chu Nan: "I'm afraid you will be shy in the house, so you can wash it first, half an hour is enough for you, right?" '

An Ruoxuan: "Enough."

Chu Nan: "By the way, give me the money."

"Oh……"

An Ruoxuan took out a shiny gold coin from the storage ring and handed it to Chu Nan.

The two of them had gone through many ups and downs in the wilderness, several life-and-death crises, and their mutual trust was extremely strong. During the period, all the things that broke out from fighting monsters were distributed by Chu Nan, and all the gold coins were also given to Chu Nan. to store.

The gold coin that Chu Nan asked for was naturally the reward for the previous gold coin mission of "reaching the wilderness".An Ruoxuan had already thought that Chu Nan was going to buy something, so she happily took it out.

After Chu Nan went out, An Ruoxuan pouted, tried her best to drag the barrel to the bathroom, and began to take off her clothes...

----

Fifteen minutes later, Chu Nan appeared in front of Village Chief Robertson's house.

Village Chief Robertson looked in surprise at Chu Nan, who had no dust on his body, and even his clothes were extraordinarily neat, and asked, "Oh my God, you didn't use both buckets of water to take a shower, did you wash the clothes? Oh ! You are such an extravagant young man, no, do you have the talent of the fire element? Then you extravagantly use that pitifully little mana to dry clothes?"

Chu Nan curled his lips: "Major Robertson, please don't think so exaggeratedly, I just committed suicide."

Village Chief Robertson: "..."

Resurrecting after death will free the player from previous negative conditions, including dirt on their clothing.

The price of water source in the village is so expensive, how could Chu Nan spend his money on such a place.

Chu Nan's answer made Village Chief Robertson give him a thumbs up.

Resurrection is one thing, but death is real death, at least in terms of pain.

"It's really cruel to yourself."

Village Chief Robertson made a comment and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

Chu Nan: "I have a question to ask before buying."

Village Chief Robertson: "Say it."

Chu Nan: "You said, there was a meeting for the players in the village before. In addition to explaining the novice period and returning to the earth to rest, there should be more, right?"

Village Chief Robertson: "There are quite a few, but for players like you who can come to the village alive, there is basically no help. Oh, there are two points, that is, when your strength reaches the peak of the first order, you can leave the village .”

Chu Nan: "Leave the village? Where are you going?"

Village Chief Robertson: "Compared with villages, small towns have richer resources and better functionality. Of course, after small towns, there are higher gathering places, such as capitals, royal cities, and imperial capitals. You can enter only when your strength reaches a certain level.”

Chu Nan frowned: "So, the game mode of the Gods Continent is an adventure game based on the level of safety? This is a game of life and death. Go risk your life."

Village Chief Robertson: "Don't worry, yes, every life with thinking will have the desire to return to the earth with the ability obtained from the continent of the gods. This is the biggest temptation. I won’t let you sit back and wait to die in such comfort.”

Chu Nan: "Who are the gods?"

Village Chief Robertson: "It's almost the system you are talking about. Okay, let's stop here. Another point, although the initial death authority of all your players is 2, but as long as the level is increased by one level, the amount of death authority will increase. will increase by 1."

"Upgrade one level, one more time? That is to say, if the strength is raised to the ninth level, it will accumulate ten death permissions?"

Chu Nan's heart sank.

Just from the information disclosed by Village Chief Robertson, Chu Nan already knew that the system, or the gods, had arranged a path that all players must participate in.

And, looking at it this way, the starting point of this road is the edge of a cliff.

The system will gradually collapse the road. If you don't run forward desperately, you will fall into the cliff.

As for the existence of the system or the gods, Chu Nan doesn't want to spend his brain cells thinking about it for the time being, it's too far away.

What needs to be done now is to think about how to live.

Although according to what Village Chief Robertson said, each level up can increase the death authority, but Chu Nan has personally experienced how terrifying the Gods Continent is.

He has already forgotten how many times he died during the closed beta. Many times, he would encounter super monsters whose strength could not be shaken at all, and then die unexpectedly.

In any case, the next first goal must be to raise the level to the middle stage of the first order in the remaining four days.

The ghost knows when the next chance to return to Earth will be.

Besides, during the rest period, staying in the Continent of the Gods doesn't seem to bring much benefit.

Then skills and equipment need to be purchased properly.

Village Chief Robertson gave a list of skills, equipment, and medicines.

There are still a lot of things that the village head can buy here.

Except for the undead system, there are countless first-level ordinary skills in each system, and there are as many as eleven in the fire magic system alone.

However, there are no Arcane-level skills for sale.

Chu Nan didn't dare to ask, because it would involve information about the internal test.

Of course, Chu Nan has never seen the first-order mysterious spirit level skills from the beginning to the end of the internal test, so it is not too much to think about.

Due to the different functions of the skill book, the price also varies.

For example, the price of the most powerful wind blade among the first-order wind-type fighting skills is one gold coin!
Chu Nan took a special look at the beast tamer's exclusive skill: Warcraft Contract, which costs ten gold coins!
This made Chu Nan call him cheating.

However, it is certain that An Ruoxuan will become a beast trainer. It seems that there is another short-term goal.

Chu Nan still has more than three gold coins in his hand.

Spend one gold coin and two silver coins to purchase three skill books:

"Scorching Slash", "Dark Corrosion", "Swift Technique".

In addition, it was equipped with a machete, a dagger and two sets of leather armor, which cost one gold coin and five silver coins in total.

They are all ordinary-level skill books and equipment, but they are so expensive, Chu Nan's heart is bleeding.

In this way, Chu Nan changed from a local tyrant back to a well-off society.

Holding the equipment in his hands, Chu Nan left amidst the exclamations and discussions of the players around him. Behind him came the shout of the village chief Robertson:

"Guests come here often!"
